Theres a nice little .22lr Beretta Bobcat here at my work.
It's slightly used, like new condition for $285.00.
With employee discount, I can get it for around $215.00 plus tax.
I know .22 is not a self defense round. I'm just looking for a small .22 plinker pistol.
It seems to be very well made, and I like the DA/SA trigger, 1911 style thumb safety, and exposed hammer.
Have any of you owned one? Are they decent shooters as far as reliability is concerned?

I know some of you will suggest a Ruger MkIII, or Browning Buckmark as a .22 pistol. I plan on buying the Ruger anyway regardless of whether I get the Beretta or not.

i have one for about 14 years now. never had a problem with it and it shoots any .22 ammo. you can load it one at a time when you have crap ammo and still use it up. its not accurate at all. great to just shoot ammo up. i love mine.

My experience has been that the small Berettas are extremely accurate (most shooters aren't!,) but that they can often misfire on the D/A pull. The D/A hammer throw is not as far as it is in single action.
